Chapter 39: Second Bloodbath
He didn't ask Yu Chen why he was there, nor did he question why he wasn't cultivating. After all, it was a day off, and how students spent their time was their own business.
However, just as Wu Changkong was about to turn and leave, Yu Chen suddenly blocked his way with a solemn expression.
"Is there anything else?" Wu Changkong was always sparing with his words.
"Teacher Wu, I have a talent ability similar to 'Berserk Mode' and I want to try to break through the bottleneck. I hope you can help protect me." Yu Chen took a deep breath and made his request.
He recalled his "Blood Rage" ability. Now that his mental strength had reached the Spirit Realm, it was the perfect time to try "Blood Rage for the Second Time".
Having a strong person by your side is undoubtedly the safest choice.
"Oh! A natural talent."
Wu Changkong had completely composed himself, and his tone was now somewhat surprised.
"Come with me."
Wu Changkong led Yu Chen to a spacious training ground. The ground had been specially reinforced and was currently deserted.
"It's just the two of us on this training ground. With me here, feel free to do whatever you want."
"Good!" Seeing that Wu Changkong was so reliable, Yu Chen completely put aside his concerns, let out a low shout, and activated the second Blood Explosion!
Second Bloodlust: Unleash "Dragon's Heart".
Yu Chen's dragon transformation deepened; dragon scales appeared on his cheeks, and his hands turned into dragon claws.
As his power surged, a bloodthirsty urge originating from the depths of his bloodline overwhelmed his reason like a tsunami. Yu Chen's consciousness struggled frantically in his mind, but he could only watch helplessly as he was devoured by that violent killing intent, completely losing control of his body.
in the real world.
A fierce and violent aura rose from Yu Chen's body. This aura was so strong that it faintly possessed a sense of oppression approaching that of a Soul Venerable!
Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed as he immediately sensed the violent power contained within this aura.
However, the price of this power was devastating. Losing control of his reason, Yu Chen became like a ferocious beast out of control, rampaging wildly across the training ground.
……
After an unknown amount of time, the violent aura finally subsided.
Yu Chen regained consciousness and looked around blankly. The once smooth training ground was now a scene of devastation—the ground was full of potholes of varying depths, and the walls were covered with terrifying claw marks several inches deep.
Meanwhile, he himself was being countered by Wu Changkong with a single hand, and was being firmly suppressed on the ground.
"Wu...Teacher?" Yu Chen's voice was hoarse as he instantly understood. He had lost his mind after the second blood loss.
"You've recovered." Wu Changkong's voice carried a rare hint of fatigue. Suppressing Yu Chen's surging strength without injuring him was no easy task for Wu Changkong.
"Hmm." Yu Chen had just responded and tried to stand up to feel the changes in his body when he suddenly felt dizzy. All the strength in his body seemed to be drained in an instant, his head slumped, and he fell straight forward.
"Be careful!"
Wu Changkong reacted quickly and caught him.
"Are you alright?" Wu Changkong quickly caught Yu Chen and helped him up.
"Hmm, my body is too weak, and..." Before he could finish speaking, Yu Chen fainted.
Seeing this, Wu Changkong quickly helped Yu Chen to the medical room of Donghai Academy.
The air in the medical room of Donghai College was filled with the scent of disinfectant and a faint smell of medicine. It was much quieter here than outside, isolated from the deafening noise of the sports field.
Yu Chen was moved into a separate observation ward. Although the doctor said after a preliminary examination that Yu Chen was quite resilient and there was nothing seriously wrong, the physical exertion was simply too great.
When the doctor first saw Yu Chen brought in, he thought he had been attacked by an evil spirit master. He was depleted of qi and blood, his soul power was exhausted, and his face was frighteningly pale. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was dead.
He lay on the hospital bed with several monitoring cables attached to his body, connected to a bunch of beeping instruments next to him.
The temperature in the ward was set to be very comfortable, but fine beads of sweat kept seeping from his forehead, and his face had an abnormal flush.
"Doctor, I feel so hot and my bones are so itchy," Yu Chen said weakly, his voice a little hoarse.
He tried to move his arm, and his joints immediately made a faint clicking sound, like rusty gears being forced to turn, accompanied by a soreness.
The doctor, a middle-aged man with a serious expression and gold-rimmed glasses, was carefully looking at something that looked like a tablet in his hand, which displayed Yu Chen's latest physical data.
"It's not just a feeling, Yu Chen, your body temperature is indeed rising, and at an abnormal rate." The doctor adjusted his glasses and pointed to a continuously rising curve on the screen.
"This is not a common infection and fever. We initially thought you had encountered an evil spirit master, but after Teacher Wu's explanation and our healing spirit master's examination, we found that there was some kind of active substance in your blood."
He pulled up another set of data: "Look here, your heart rate is only 32 beats per minute, much lower than a normal person's resting state. But!"
The doctor pointed to a nearby indicator, "The amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat is almost 2.5 times more than before! This means that the efficiency of your heart has been forcibly increased."
The doctor then swiped the screen to bring up a scan image of the bones. Some areas on the image had a significantly higher density than the surrounding area, exhibiting a cold, hard luster similar to metal.
"Look at your bone density, especially the long bones of your limbs and spine; it's increasing at an astonishing rate. That's probably why you felt your joints clicking earlier—your bone structure is undergoing subtle adjustments and strengthening."
Yu Chen was somewhat confused and even puzzled. Had the medical industry become so advanced in Dou San at this time?
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I feel like I've gotten a little stronger? But I'm also feeling uncomfortably hot all over, and a bit hungry?"
"In a sense, this is both evolution and a curse."
The doctor looked at the glaringly bright indicators on the screen, his tone neither praising nor regretting.
"The 'activating factors' in your body are reshaping your physiological functions. In theory, it could give you muscles of steel and wounds that heal instantly. But this kind of 'forced growth' transformation is a disaster for your body."
He pushed up his glasses, revealing a cold gaze behind the lenses:
"Your bone density is skyrocketing out of control, which will lead to bone spurs and joint fusion, eventually leaving you immobile like a rusty machine. Your heart is already working at its limit to pump this energy, and heart muscle strain is only a matter of time."
